ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On October 3, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing September 2006 sales. The release is as follows:
GM's U.S. Divisions Deliver 338,380 Vehicles In September
o GM Retail Sales Up 1,385 Vehicles, Compared With Last Year, Led By Saab,
Cadillac, Hummer, Buick and GMC
o Segment Fuel Economy Leaders Chevrolet Silverado and Tahoe, GMC Sierra
and Yukon Post Sales Increases
o 2007 Go To Market Strategy Driven By 23 Vehicles Offering 30 MPG And
Backed By The Best Warranty Coverage In The Industry
DETROIT - General Motors' dealers in the United States sold 338,380 new cars and
trucks in September. The company sold 1,385 more retail vehicles retail in
September than the year before. Retail truck sales, led by full-size pickups and
utilities, were up 2 percent. Retail car sales were down 12 percent, partly due
to inventory constraints of Chevrolet Aveo, Cobalt and Malibu. Retail sales of
246,797 vehicles were down 3 percent on a sales day-adjusted basis.
"GM's truck business was boosted in September by our segment-leading fuel
economy and the addition of the industry's best coverage, including the
5-year/100,000 mile warranty program," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North
America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
GM continues to reduce its reliance on low-margin daily rental sales. Sales to
daily rental companies were down 26 percent compared to year-ago levels, while
our commercial fleet business was up 12 percent. This ongoing planned pull-down
of low-margin daily rental sales resulted in total September sales of 338,380
being down 6.8 percent compared with a year ago on a sales day-adjusted basis.
"Our retail business was solid in September and in line with expectations.
Importantly, we continue to experience strong customer demand for our launch
products and industry-leading lineup of fuel efficient vehicles. Having products
like the Chevrolet Cobalt, Malibu and newly redesigned 2007 Aveo in such high
demand in the market place is gratifying," LaNeve said. "We're on track to sell
more than a million 2006 model year vehicles this year that achieve 30 mpg or
better on the highway. We will go even further for the 2007 model year by
increasing the number of fuel-sipping vehicle models in the `30 mpg or Over
Club' by 9 vehicles, or more than 60 percent, to 23 models. More Americans every
day are realizing we have a great story in fuel economy." (A list of the 2007
`30 mpg or Over Club' is shown further down in this document.)
"In addition to our great lineup of fuel efficient vehicles, we have launched
the best warranty coverage of any full-line automaker with 5 years/100,000 mile
powertrain, courtesy transportation and roadside assistance for each of our 2007
models," LaNeve added. "And, there is no deductible for the warranty, which is
fully transferable."
Due to the success of new products, and recent support of the best warranty
coverage of any full-line automaker, GM has seen sales over the last few months
above the targets set in the North America Turnaround Plan. GM market share has
improved in every quarter of 2006, and was at about 25 percent for the third
quarter 2006. Calendar year-to-date, GM's retail selling rate remains above 3
million vehicles on an annualized basis and was 3.15 million in the third
quarter.
Saab, Cadillac, Hummer, Buick and GMC all saw retail sales increases in
September. Saab led the pack with retail sales up a powerful 45 percent, driven
by 9-3 and 9-7X. Cadillac sales are up 22 percent retail, with strong showings
by DTS, STS, SRX and the entire Escalade lineup. Hummer continued to show very
positive results with H3 sales up 19 percent, helping the division sport an
overall 10 percent retail hike. Buick retail sales are up 4 percent led by
Lucerne, LaCrosse, Rainier and Terraza. GMC was up 3 percent retail, with sales
increases of the Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL.
"Customers are recognizing GM's leadership position when it comes to products
that offer outstanding value and fuel economy, whether that's a small car or a
full-size pickup," LaNeve said.
"We just revealed our brand new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full
size pickups at the State Fair of Texas - two vehicles that lead their segment
in estimated highway fuel economy and outstanding value." GM has announced
carry-over pricing on the most popular versions of the all-new 2007 Chevrolet
Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups.

"GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's best-selling manufacturer-certified

than 12 percent over September 2005," said LaNeve. "GM Certified continues to
lead the certified category in sales, as more consumers take advantage of the
quality, value and peace of mind offered by top-quality used vehicles backed by
GM."
